[BOOK 3] I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot (BL)

11.63 First Green Star - Punishment World: 'Hell' (29)

Snorts!

Han Ya just snorted and averted his gaze as if he didn't care about what Chu Mo and Lan She had said. Though he couldn't understand their sudden detachment, Han Ya never cares about anyone except his beloved after all.

The two female snakes felt the weirdness in the atmosphere between these players and remained silent instead.

Lan She noticed that they've stopped speaking and asked, "Then how did you two end up as monsters then?"

"This... Anyone who failed to leave the Punishment World would be converted to Abyssal Monsters. We could start from being a mob monster gaining experience until we level up to becoming a Boss NPC."

"You cannot become a player again?" asked An Yuan.

"We could. But as Boss NPC we need to surrender to a player. Only when the player treated us as equal. A spouse or a lover, we can become players once again. But our lives would be connected to the player we had signed a life and death contract with."

"But signing it had disadvantages as well. Players are usually able to die multiple times and as long as they completed the Punishment Gameworld they would be able to return to the Abyssal City multiple times. But those who had signed with a Boss NPC would no longer be allowed to enter the Punishment Game World. It means death in games would be real in a sense. You and your signed partner would return to nothingness."

Han Ya asked, "And the advantages?"

"The two lives are connected. As long as one of the two isn't dead. The other could revive multiple times. If both were killed then it's the end. That's right. There's a sign of it. A mark would be left behind on the human player. If the main element of the Abyssal Entity agreed to such a life and death contract, they would have to leave their essence inside the body of the player. Actually, players could sign such contracts with other players too. But their markings' color would be bright, only a black marking would be considered an Abyssal monster's imprint."

An Yuan muttered the word that caught his attention. When the word 'Imprint' was mentioned he remembered the black-red fire marking that appeared out of nowhere on Hei Anjing's collarbones and neck. It looks so pretty on his white skin that An Yuan couldn't forget about it.

"If pure black markings are from abyssal monsters and colorful ones are from the players, how about two colored ones?" asked An Yuan.

The humanoid monster showed a confused expression for a moment but still answered honestly.

"Imprints only have one color. Colors for players and Black for Abyssal Monsters. I haven't heard of a dual or a tri-color imprint before. If you know someone like that you can ask him about it if he is willing to answer then you will know the answer to that. But an imprint means that player had signed a life and death contract with someone. After all, imprints can never be removed."

"Permanent Imprint. Sharing life and death with another person. It's an eternal oath. No being would easily agree to it unless he found his soulmate." said Chu Mo as he glanced at Lan She.

But the latter just glanced at him and averted his eyes, though they are lovers they didn't have the same extent of feelings as Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie have. Plus their current position as a warden and a prisoner created such unfair distance between them.

Unless Yun Ming was freed from his trials as a prisoner, he wouldn't be able to fully accept Warden Lou Wuye's love. Knowing this Warden Lou chooses to protect him from harm while keeping a certain line they could never cross unless Yun Ming gets back his freedom.
